• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/EEC_CHECK068 - Connection options for RFC destinations &1 and &2 are identical ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/EEC_CHECK068 indicates that there is a configuration issue with the RFC (Remote Function Call) destinations in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that the connection options for two RFC destinations are identical, which can lead to confusion or conflicts in the system.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  Two RFC destinations are configured with the same connection parameters (e.g., same host, system number, client, user, password, etc.).
  The system is trying to establish a connection to two different destinations that are configured identically, which can cause ambiguity in routing calls.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check RFC Destinations:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in your SAP system.
  Review the RFC destinations listed there. Look for the two destinations mentioned in the error message (denoted as &1 and &2).
  Compare their connection parameters to identify the similarities.
  
  
  
  Modify RFC Destinations:
  
  If you find that the two RFC destinations are indeed identical, you will need to modify one of them to ensure that they have unique connection parameters.
  You can change the host, system number, or any other relevant parameters to differentiate them.
  
  
  
  Test the Connections:
  
  After making changes, test the RFC connections using the "Connection Test" option in transaction SM59 to ensure that they are working correctly and that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If these RFC destinations are used in any configurations or custom programs, ensure that those dependencies are updated accordingly to reflect the changes made.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made to the RFC destinations for future reference and to avoid similar issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  RFC Destinations: These are configurations that define how your SAP system connects to other systems, whether they are other SAP systems or non-SAP systems.
  Transaction SM59: This transaction is used to manage and configure RFC destinations in SAP.
  Error Handling: Always ensure that you have proper error handling and logging in place when working with RFC calls to catch issues early.
